Singer Grace VanderWaal is showing off a very dramatic new look on social media – and while many of her fans have praised the makeover, others have expressed ‘concerns’ about the big change.
Grace, 16, rose to fame in 2016 when she was just 12 years old, so it’s unsurprising that many still consider her the lovable tween who stunned judges about America’s Got Talent.
But before her 17th birthday in January, the teen changes her appearance and has shared several new TikTok videos featuring a bubbly head, dramatic makeup, and grown-up outfits.
